When a nursing mother is asked to stop breastfeeding or leave, she returns with back-up.

A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them. -Victor Hugo

Indecent exposure? Or, a natural way for mothers to care for their children? Nursing mothers are pushing back against the public perception that breast-feeding should only be done in private.

While breast-feeding in public is legal in all 50 US states, nursing moms are often asked to cover up, go to designated nursing areas or leave by restaurant and retail workers and even public employees.
